Air filter box hose stuck

Howdy folks,
I'm finally getting around to some overdue maintenance items on my '81 245.

I replaced the air filter but couldn't get the lower corner to seal, getting under the car I found that one of the little tab/hinges had broken off the outter lid, not by me so its been like this for years.
Anyway I found a replacement for the lid but I can't get the dang air hose off! The clamp is loose, I can spin it back & forth on the connector, but I don't want to try anything too drastic for fear of damaging the hose.
Any tips?
Seems like it should be so simple!

No one? I'm thinking it has to come off with some force but the plastic is brittle. I have a new air box lid to use so not worried about damaging the old one but I certainly don't want to mess up the hose.
Anyone?
Was hoping this was something that was a quick easy fix
